Choosing Insecticides for Bed Bug Control Pyrethroid Resistance is Only One Consideration

摘要

When treating for bed bugs, concerns about insecticide resistance and the effectiveness of EPA-exempt products, make choosing the best insecticide a real challenge. Believe it or not, there are more than 400 EPA-registered products labeled for use against bed bugs, and dozens more "minimum risk" products that are exempt from registration. No matter what the marketing hype for a product says, it's always best to choose EPA-registered insecticide products that have given good results in field situations (apartments and residences) in published tests conducted by independent researchers.
